ok im going to #seriouspost for a second here. I don't think Harry Potter is a manifesto. I think it was a flawed passion project that millennials latched onto because of the fantasy of sticking it to their mean teachers and arbitrarily categorizing themselves (hogwarts houses; it's the thinking millennial's astrology). I think the fact that the series got popular when and how it did was very much a product of its time.

I don't think Harry Potter is the biggest symbol of JKR's bigotry. I think the most flagrant sign of that was how she responded to critics. I watched her become radicalized in real time. I watched how she doubled down on her racism when she was called out for the ways she promoted her tragically mid fantastic beasts movies. I watched her chase marginalized teenagers with a double digit follower count off of twitter for daring to criticize her thought process, and no one with any kind of power standing against her because she was the one who was paying them. This isn't to say Harry Potter is without flaws. This is to say she really didn't give a shit about that. Getting rich and powerful is a hell of a drug, and she had enough sycophants that she had no reason to care about what her critics were saying.

She was convinced that she was a martyr; a voice for the unheard; a leader for the ages, so of course her detractors were the bad guys. And I think we should take this to heart. We should see this as an example of how easy it is to get radicalized; if you think of yourself as a paragon of virtue, you are going to think that whatever you see as good and right is an objective fact. Most people don't know this, but the majority of terfs start out as trans allies. You are not immune to propaganda! You are not immune to falling into dangerous ideologies!!!

This is why the most important thing you can do as an activist is to listen. Do NOT think you're above being wrong; do NOT develop a god complex; do NOT form an identity out of being right all the time. Involve yourselves in the groups you claim to speak for. Listen to trans women; share resources that help trans women; familiarize yourself with the diversity of experiences that trans people have and the struggles they face.

No, none of you are as bad as JKR because you don't have her money or her power. You will likely never have the capacity for harm she does. But check yourselves. Do not affirm yourselves into thinking you always have the moral high ground. Watch yourselves; humble yourselves; check yourselves for signs of cult behavior and internalized prejudice. You are always learning. You will always be learning. Do not allow yourselves to get a power trip from brushing off marginalized voices.

"First, we must create a VESSEL."

"The CAGE, with human SOUL and parts!"

"Copies are monochrome, but you colored each of us in with care."

"Why don't you photocopy a Kris to play with us?"

"Between your fingers, a faint gray crease glittered stubbornly. You can never wash it all away."

"No one can choose who they are in this world."

"Who do you think taught you how to laugh? How to cry?"

"...When did you start being yourself?"

To be loved is to be changed in form.

Emotional Walls Your Character Has Built (And What Might Finally Break Them)

(How your character defends their soft core and what could shatter it) Because protection becomes prison real fast.

✶ Sarcasm as armor. (Break it with someone who laughs gently, not mockingly.) ✶ Hyper-independence. (Break it with someone who shows up even when they’re told not to.) ✶ Stoicism. (Break it with a safe space to fall apart.) ✶ Flirting to avoid intimacy. (Break it with real vulnerability they didn’t see coming.) ✶ Ghosting everyone. (Break it with someone who won’t take silence as an answer.) ✶ Lying for convenience. (Break it with someone who sees through them but stays anyway.) ✶ Avoiding touch. (Break it with accidental, gentle contact that feels like home.) ✶ Oversharing meaningless things to hide real depth. (Break it with someone who asks the second question.) ✶ Overworking. (Break it with forced stillness and the terrifying sound of their own thoughts.) ✶ Pretending not to care. (Break it with a loss they can’t fake their way through.) ✶ Avoiding mirrors. (Break it with a quiet compliment that hits too hard.) ✶ Turning every conversation into a joke. (Break it with someone who doesn’t laugh.) ✶ Being everyone’s helper. (Break it when someone asks what they need, and waits for an answer.) ✶ Constantly saying “I’m fine.” (Break it when they finally scream that they’re not.) ✶ Running. Always running. (Break it with someone who doesn’t chase, but doesn’t leave, either.) ✶ Intellectualizing every feeling. (Break it with raw, messy emotion they can’t logic away.) ✶ Trying to be the strong one. (Break it when someone sees the weight they’re carrying, and offers to help.) ✶ Hiding behind success. (Break it when they succeed and still feel empty.) ✶ Avoiding conflict at all costs. (Break it when silence causes more pain than the truth.) ✶ Focusing on everyone else’s healing but their own. (Break it when they hit emotional burnout.)

Should You Build In-House or Hire an AI Software Development Company? A Founder’s Guide

Artificial Intelligence is no longer just hype its a real tool shaping how startups build smarter products, automate workflows, and serve customers better.

But here’s the big question for founders in 2025: Should you build your AI capabilities in-house or hire an AI software development company to get the job done?

It’s not just a technical decision. It affects your runway, speed to market, IP ownership, team dynamics, and long-term scalability.

In this guide, we’ll walk through:

The pros and cons of both paths

How to evaluate your readiness

What to look for in a reliable AI development partner

A hybrid approach that offers flexibility without long-term risk

Understanding Your Two Options

As a founder, you typically face two routes when launching an AI-powered solution:

1. Build an In-House AI Team

You hire your own engineers, data scientists, MLOps experts, and product specialists. This gives you full control over the development, roadmap, and intellectual property.

2. Hire an AI Software Development Company

This is essentially AI outsourcing. You partner with a specialized agency that already has a team, tools, and infrastructure in place to help you move quickly and build efficiently.

Pros and Cons of Building In-House

Advantages:

Total ownership over your data, code, and models

Deeper product understanding within the team

Faster iteration because priorities are fully aligned

Long-term cost efficiency if AI is core to your business

Challenges:

Hiring is tough and time-consuming

Longer ramp-up time before any working product is shipped

Requires a wide range of talent beyond just ML engineers

Risk of overhead if your AI priorities change later

Pros and Cons of AI Outsourcing

Advantages:

Faster delivery with ready-made expertise

Access to multiple skill sets without hiring each role

Lower upfront cost and easier scope control

Reusable infrastructure and tools from past projects

Quick validation of ideas and early stakeholder buy-in

Challenges:

Less day-to-day control over the product direction

Potential concerns around IP and data rights

Costs may increase for post-launch support

Vendor quality varies, so selection matters

5 Key Questions to Guide Your Decision

Is AI a core part of your product or just a feature? If it’s central to your IP, in-house might make sense. If it’s supporting functionality, outsourcing is a safer bet.

Do you have a strong technical team already? If not, hiring an external team gives you immediate access to skills.

What’s your go-to-market timeline? Need to launch in 8–12 weeks? Outsourcing will get you there faster.

What’s your budget? Outsourcing offers more flexibility in the early stages. In-house teams require a bigger long-term commitment.

Are you in a regulated industry? For finance, healthcare, or defense, in-house control over compliance and data may be essential.

How to Choose the Right AI Development Partner

If you decide to outsource, here’s what to look for in an AI company:

Relevant case studies in your industry or use case

Proficiency with tools and frameworks like PyTorch, TensorFlow, MLflow

A well-rounded team (not just frontend or backend devs)

Clear post-launch support structure

Strong data and IP protection policies

The Hybrid Approach: Best of Both Worlds

Many successful startups are blending the two strategies:

Start with outsourcing to quickly validate an MVP

Transition core development in-house as you scale

Continue working with the AI firm for DevOps, MLOps, or compliance support

This lets you balance flexibility with ownership while staying lean and strategic.

Real-World Examples

In-House Win: A fintech startup built an AI-powered credit scoring engine internally to ensure compliance and protect its IP.

Outsourcing Advantage: A D2C brand hired an AI firm to build a recommendation engine—zero hiring delays, faster ROI.

Hybrid Success: A B2B SaaS startup outsourced its chatbot MVP, then hired internal talent post-Series A to scale the tech in-house.

Final Thoughts: Build Smarter, Not Harder

There’s no universal right answer—but there is a right answer for your stage.

Choose in-house if AI is central to your long-term differentiation.

Go with an AI software development company if speed, risk control, and flexibility matter most right now.

Or combine both with a hybrid approach that gives you the best of both worlds.

Whatever you decide, let your AI strategy reflect your product maturity, technical depth, and growth goals—not just ambition.

Still unsure? Start small. Validate fast. Scale with clarity. Read the full blog here
